Hi Michelle:
Maybe someone from our group of folks interested in local foods might want to attend this workshop. Sounds really interesting. I know we can't go.

Attached is a registration flier for an upcoming workshop on planning for
sustainable communities with a focus on smaller cities and rural areas.
Since food systems need to be a part of sustainable communities, this is
an opportunity to learn more about other systems and factors to be
considered in sustainable community planning.

I plan to attend tomorrow. I am interested in the issue of how a local food initiative can also serve needs in the low income community.
Wander, Michelle M
